I believe the proper one is +:*:::::::: and all others would probably be
best to show up. (Remember, this is master.passwd it checks.)
I don't think we support YP uid/gid remapping or absence of the "*" invalid
password. Correct me if I'm wrong, please; I only use the default setup,
but I am interested in as strict a setup for this.
BTW, there are PRs open on this: 4555, 4802.
